I’m not entirely sure on the subject of this post, but I wanted to get the point across. Paper tissue poms, or pom poms, tissue balls or paper pomanders…however you nom them, are a great decoration; you can get lots of miles out of them.
For instance, the beautiful wedding I coordinated on Monday used pink, [...]

Let’s talk hangers shall we? It’s a small detail, but I think it’s something that’s pretty important (emphasis on the pretty). My general rule of thumb is to use a nice looking hanger for the wedding dress on the day of the wedding. Nothing says “oops” like a cheapo plastic hanger and a couture gown. [...]

Being a new mom and a wedding coordinator, I’m a little surprised at how sometimes the baby world and the wedding world collide. One of these recent discoveries is the fantastic blog, 500 Pieces of Prudent Advice for my Baby Daughter.
Here are all the wedding and event ones I pulled out for your reading pleasure, [...]

One of the side effects of a bride-driven business is that sometimes the groom gets forgotten. I know of some grooms that are happy with smaller roles in weddings, but that doesn’t always apply to every guy out there. But where do these involved guys go for advice? Let’s face it, 99 percent of the [...]

Well, maybe not flower girls, but their parents and the bride and groom. Easter is coming up and that means great little girl dresses. Yes, now is the time to get a great deal on flower girl dresses. Many clothing stores have dresses (and suits!) that will work for the smallest members of your wedding party. And [...]

So yesterday was the infamous Ides of March. Although I’m not sure that that particular wedding date was avoided because of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. It was a beautiful Saturday (apart from the early rain) and prime wedding date real estate. But that got me to thinking about other wedding dates that make people pause. According [...]

So licking envelopes comes with the wedding territory and if you’re going the vintage stamp route, you’re in for overtime. Not only is there no consistency between envelope glue tastes (why yes, I am a connoisseur), but I constantly worry what’s in that stuff (Google “envelope glue ingredients” and worry with me). Then there’s paper [...]

I’m not a jewelry person by nature. I still have the cheap $5 earrings from junior high in my jewelry box and remembering the four c’s is like trying to rattle off the names of Snow White’s seven dwarves under pressure. So I’ve been holding off on getting my engagement ring restored. Every year about [...]

It was pretty obvious after the last wedding I did that my little 4.1 megapixel Sony wasn’t going to cut it anymore. The pictures I had taken of the photographer taking pictures of the wedding party (something I try to do for the person who never gets photographed) came out fuzzy and all of my [...]

After reading a Weddingbee post about what happened to a couple’s wedding cake, I was inspired to put together some cake advice.

Calculate your cake to guest ratio

Many places will do this for you, but if you’re ordering sheet cake, making your own, having family or friends provide it, you’ll want to make sure you aren’t returning home with 20lbs of [...]
